Olive Kate Smith, Lewiston, Passes

The couple moved to Lewiston in 1946 and he died here Sept. 16, 1952.

Mrs. Smith was a member of the United Brethren Church, Rebekah Lodge and the Women of the Moose.

Her survivors include two sons, Walter W. Smith of Lewiston and R. J. Smith of Klamath Falls, Ore.; and six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
